Breakout Board for PIC10F2xx (SOT23-6)

Microcontrollers come in all sorts and sizes, and it’s very tempting to use them everywhere, even for very simple tasks. Tiny, inexpensive microcontrollers especially suited to very simple tasks, such as the Microchip PIC10F2xx family, are also available. Thanks to their compact size and their ability to source or sink 25 mA on their I/O pins, these miniature microcontrollers are a good choice for driving LEDs directly in miniature lighting effect devices.
